［听力练习］Innovative Dating

一个好玩的小故事，from NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me，Bluff the Listner.

如果你一遍全都听懂了，就不用继续了，写个Summary吧。

如果没有，可以做下面的填空练习，或者干脆听写练习,那就不用往下看了。

答案晚些给出。

 

好了，填空题来了：

When you hear the term ____ dating, you picture, perhaps, two giggling lovebirds _______ through a bag of _______ in front of late night TV. But that is not at all what ____ dating organizers at Tunbridge Hill Farm in Vermont are up to. _______ dating is a ________ on speed dating where people pair up in bars for a few minutes and then move on to the next table. ____ dating takes place on farms among ____ of ________  _______. Participants ____ a ___ with a potential romantic interest, then at the sound  of a goat's bell, move on to another ___ and another partner.

Everyone wears a tag _______ her name, along with the name of a favorite fruit or vegetable, explained organizer Sarah Kale Heusner. It isn't only about love and dating, she said, indicating that _______ dating will prove to be every bit as awkward as its _____  ____  _____. The focus is on finding people who share the same interests and values.
And it might be pointed out here, the ______  ______ get ______. Eager ______ _____ Ben Wolfe of North Tunbridge allows that, it says something about people that　___________________ something like this. Probably nothing a good conversation wouldn't overcome, and you never know what will happen on a farm where second date entertainment could include __________ corn or even checking one another for _____.
